Viewing themselves as the saviours (an end which justifies many many means) of some granfalloon is a common theme. In one of Benigni's movies, a group of italian Fascists are discussing a new german fascist textbook, in which one of the word problems says something like: a cripple costs the state so much per year, a cretin so much, etc. How much could the state save if n thousands of cripples and m thousands of cretins were eliminated? "But that's horrible", cries an italian woman, "making children do algebra, at such a young age!" I suspect a true fascist (although a true economist might send a false positive?) would not understand why the woman's objection is generally thought to be gallows-humorous.
